WTH is up with video cards?

[Dimebag]

Asic is definitely the ticket

But if you gpu mine and for some reason everything around bitcoin does crash, or the difficulties increase, I can still sell the cards and recoup money.  Where as asic is just a $2000 space heater lol

But since cards are next to impossible to find, I’ll get another L3 and a couple s9’s and call it a day and see what happens

After all, it is all house money from investing

For now, it is annoying that the miners have bid up all the prices.

But I'm hoping that in the near future there will be an avalanche of cheap cards on the market.

My daughter wants to fly Aces High offline, going to build her a new computer with onboard video, will let you guys know how well it runs the game.

Here is what I plan to put together for her, its a pretty solid machine that should run the game fine with the latest intel onboard, its GPU ready for when prices fall again.

We Dutch totally agree. And we are way ahead of you. It's our 1# export product.

No no. We Scots are way ahead! Remember the great Haggis Bubble of 1869? That was messy! Literally!

[Bizman]

Haggerty, why Rosewill when you could get a Seasonic for about the same price? Are you planning to build a firecracker?

EVGA is apparently selling direct to gamers at MSRP too, you can reserve cards for when they get stock if they're out of certain models as well.
